Jersey Museum, 1st May
Jersey Museum’s Gallery buzzed with conversation and clinking glasses on the opening night of ‘Life after Liberation: the road to recovery’, launched as part of Jersey Heritage’s Liberation 80 programme. Familiar faces from heritage groups, sponsors Benest & Syvret, and long‑time museum supporters mingled over complimentary drinks before being drawn into the exhibition’s narrative of life beyond 9 May 1945. Visitors watched rare colour footage of Liberation Day accompanied by Emily de Gruchy’s immersive soundscape, followed by a varied exhibition of artefacts.
